EDIFACT Integrator Features - The EDIFACT Integrator provides the utmost in flexibility for developers and businesses interested in enabling their software systems with Internet EDI (EDIFACT) parsing and message generation capabilities. The EDIFACT Integrator includes dynamic EDI components that can be used to parse, translate, and transform EDI data:

• EDIFACTReader: Parses an incoming EDI document (EDIFACT) so you may read the data in the document.This component can either load an entire document at once or stream portions of the document. Loading the entire document at once allows developers to use the XPath property to easily navigate the document. For larger documents, developers can choose to streamline parsing and only navigate sections of the document
• EDIFACTWriter: Generates new EDI documents (EDIFACT) from scratch. Create EDIFACT documents from scratch, one segment at a time.
• EDIFACTTranslator: The EDIFACTTranslator component provides a simple way to convert EDI to XML and vice versa.

Flexible Schema Support - There is no single official standard for EDI Schemas, and the EDIFACTReader and EDIFACTWriter components were designed with this in mind. Rather than require the use of a custom schema format, or require a single schema type, the EDIFACTReader and EDIFACTWriter support multiple, common, schema formats. This allows for easier integration with existing EDI processing applications.

EDIFACT Integrator includes support for the following schemas:

• Standard Exchange Format (SEF)
• BizTalk (XSD)
• BOTS
• Altova
